On January 16, Beijing time, three Australian judges unanimously decided that Djokovic lost the case, and the Serb would not qualify for the 2022 Australian Open. Under Australian regulations, Germany can impose a maximum of 12 months in prison and a fine of 6,600 Australian dollars (about 30,000 yuan), and the visa will be cancelled and deported.
Immigration Minister Hawke believes djokovic has previously made public anti-vaccine remarks in April 2020, and that a high-profile anti-vaccine celebrity who stays in Australia will fuel anti-vaccine sentiment in Australia, with safety and health risks, saying: "For reasons of health and good order, because it is in the public interest to do so." ”
Deyo's lawyer, Wood, argued that Djoyo's talk of opposing vaccines at the time was in a particular context, and the full context of the article needed to be considered. And later Djokovic clarified his position, saying that he was "open to vaccines" and "made the best choice for his body". Attorney Deyo argued that Minister Hawke's decision under 133(C) was one-sided and did not fully consider the issue.
During today's hearing, Chief Justice Olthorpe spoke up when Deyo's lawyer referred to "evidence" and asked the other side to be cautious about the word "evidence." Because: "Under Australian law, the Minister of Immigration does not need evidence of traditional significance to make his own decision. "Immigration Act S133(C) gives Minister Hawke great power to cancel anyone's visa at his own will.
On January 4 this year, Djokovic announced on social media that he had received a medical exemption and would leave for Australia to participate in the Australian Open. Upon arriving in Melbourne on 5 January, Djokovic was subjected to lengthy cross-examination, detained the next day and had his visa withdrawn, after which Djokovic chose to appeal. On January 10, Judge Kelly ruled that Djokovic won the case and was immediately released. In the evening, Djokovic went to rodravol stadium for training and announced that he would continue to participate in this year's Australian Open.
On January 13, the Australian Open draw was drawn, and Djokovic appeared as the top seed in the signing table. On 14 January, Australian Immigration Minister Hawke again cancelled Djokovic's visa under section 133(C). The Djokovic team quickly appealed, and the Federal Court held a hearing today, which finally ruled that Djokovic lost the case and did not qualify for this year's Australian Open.
Nadal has said in the past few days: "I wish Djokovic all the best, and we have a good relationship throughout our career." The Australian Open is more important than any player. If Djokovic can finally compete, it's fine; if he can't play, the Australian Open is still a great Australian Open, that's my personal opinion. ”
This means that Djokovic will not be able to qualify for tomorrow's Australian Open main tournament, and in the first round of the Australian Open regular match that starts tomorrow, Djokovic's signature will be replaced by the lucky loser. In addition, once Djokovic is cancelled this time, he may not be able to enter the Australian Open for the next three years.
